I bought a 2007 Xciting 500 with only 6,000 mile on it. After a month of riding it (normal riding) I began to notice a small oil leak coming from the right side of the motor. Took the bike to a local Kymco dealership and they confirmed it was a bad head gasket. Very disappointed!! I thought Kymco made reliable bikes. otherwise, the bike ran fine and the handling was sufficient.
